4. Trouble Shooting

The Palm Switch 500 can be easily monitored through panel indicators to assist in
identifying problems. This section describes common problems you may encounter
and where you can fi nd possible solutions.

•Diagnosing LED Indicators

If Link indicator does not light up after making a connection, you may
check whether network interface (e.g., a network adapter card on the
attached device), network cable, or switch port is defective or not. Be
sure the cable is plugged into both the Switch and corresponding device.
Verifi ed the proper cable type is used and its length does not exceed
specifi ed limits.

•Power

If the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged
in, you may have a problem with power outlet, or power cord. However,
if the switch powers off after running for a while, check for loose power
connection, power loses or surges at power outlet. If you still cannot
resolve the problem, contact your local dealer for assistance.

•Cabling

RJ-45 Ports: Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shield twisted-pair (STP)
cable for RJ-45 connections: 100Ω Category 3,4 or 5 Cable for 10Mbps
connections or 100Ω Category 5 Cable for 100Mbps connections. Also
be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100
meters ( 328 feet ).
